An immediate, marked response to small amounts of rainfall occurs in Opuntia basilaris,
despite previous drought conditions. The effect of rainfall is upon plant water potential, which …

Species are often classified along a continuum from isohydric to anisohydric, with isohydric
species exhibiting tighter regulation of leaf water potential through stomatal closure in …

This study aimed to assess the accumulation of organic and inorganic solutes and their
relative contribution to osmotic adjustment in roots and leaves of Jatropha curcas subjected …

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants, such as the cultivated Opuntia ficus-indica, are
resistant to drought, but their responses can be affected by development of new organs …

Although drought tolerance of tree species is a critical determinant of forest composition,
how elevated CO2 affects drought tolerance is uncertain. Interactions between elevated …

ABSTRACT Hsiao, TC and Acevedo, E., 1974. Plant responses to water deficits, water-use
efficiency, and drought resistance. Agric. Meteorol., 14: 59–84. This paper reviews some of …

BACKGROUND: Cryptogamic vegetation dominates the ice-free areas along the Antarctic
Peninsula. The two mosses Sanionia uncinata and Polytrichastrum alpinum inhabit soils …

Developing cladodes had lower water potentials and developing fruits had higher water
potentials than the underlying cladodes of the widely cultivated prickly pear cactus, Opuntia …

Yellow-cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis (D. Don) Spach) shoot water relations
parameters were measured in response to (i) seasonal changes in photoperiod and …

The role of extracellular water in ameliorating drought stress was examined in Hemizonia
luzulifola, an annual composite that comprises two subspecies differing significantly in the …
